Pixma printers

[Bigal]

Would anyone know whether I could use my pixma printer in France without a transformer? Does it sense the voltage and automatically adapt itself to it, or will a step-down transformer be necessary.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm using a Canon PIXMA MG2022 printer I wish to use in France. I have an adapter for the wall plug. Will I need a transformer?

Hi Bigal,

The power supply of the PIXMA MG2220 is 110 - 120 V, 60 Hz and 200 - 240 V, 50 Hz.  You may need a plug adapter to connect the U.S. type plug to an overseas socket or vice versa, but if the voltage falls within the range noted above, then no transformer/converter would be required.

Hope this helps!

Terrific. Thanks so much for confirming what I suspected. We'll have no problem, then, with our new Pixma. The Canon Forum is fantastic.

Sorry, the title of the message I just sent was insufficiently specific. Does a pixma printer automatically adjust itself to 220 volts in France?
